Consecutive interpreting: The interpreter interprets the words of the speaker in segments (sections, sentences, sentence segments), taking turns with the speaker.

Simultaneous or conference interpreting: interpreting performed almost in parallel with the speech of the speaker. In case of longer lectures, all day or multiple day conferences, since it is a tideous job, to maintain the requested level of quality, two interpreters may be needed.

Whispered interpreting: basically, this is simultaneous interpreting – the interpreter whispers the translated version of the speech in the ear of the client.
